Have you tried:
php rebuildData.php -v --categories="Some_category_name"
--skip-properties
I'm not actually certain on the syntax of categories...guessing it'd be "Some_category_name,Another_category". The docs [1] also give the option to do this instead of categories: --query='[[Category:SomeCategory]]'
James,
After a user pointed me to your message and asked if it would help in her circumstance, I found that the syntax you have doesn't focus only on one category.
Specifically, --categories: "Will refresh only category pages (and other explicitly named namespaces)" as [1] says. This means the [[Category:...]] pages themselves, not the pages in the category.
Which means that you have to use this form, instead:
php rebuildData.php -v --query="[[Category:Some category name]]"--skip-properties
